Description:
The United States Space Force is seeking information from industry vendors regarding solutions for sustaining connectivity to remote American Forces Network (AFN) FM transmitter sites in Europe.

Budget Estimate (AI):

$100,000 – $1,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the document does not provide a specific budget or cost range. However, based on the scope of the project, which involves delivering AFN stereo audio programming to multiple remote sites in Europe, the cost could potentially be in the range of $100,000 to $1,000,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the solution and the number of sites involved. The estimate may be influenced by factors such as the type of technology used, the amount of hardware and software required, and the level of maintenance and support needed.
